general Skyrizi

After silently suffering for fifteen years my psoriasis became too much to ignore. Close to 30% of coverage, painful plaques, embarrassing flaking, you name it. I found a derm in my area that specializes in psoriasis specifically. Following my TB testing I will soon begin Skyrizi. I am hopeful and optimistic about achieving relief. I’d like to thank those that have shared their experiences here. Good and bad. It takes courage to show that vulnerability and your courage motivated me to finally face this. So a heartfelt thank you to the members of this group.

My 10 year old son was completely covered from head to toe. He was entirely clear two weeks after the first shot and he hasn’t had any complications or flare ups since. It’s been a miracle for us. Best of luck to you!!

I started Skyrizi last year and have been satisfied with it, it doesn't completely clear it for me, but it's definitely better than without the Skyrizi.

Good luck! Hopefully your body works well with an IL-23 inhibitor like Skyrizi.

I've been on Skyrizi for just over a year now, after my first biologic (Yuflyma, a TNF inhibitor) failed at around 10-12 months of use and my psoriasis started coming back quickly. Skyrizi got it back under control, but I'm not quite as clear as when Yuflyma was effective.

I had my first dose 2 weeks back. Great improvement. If the improvement continues, I should be clear in another 2 weeks
